Understanding linux shell script expression -
hi have small script (script name is: test1.sh) looks this
prg=$0 data=`expr $prg : '.*\/.*'` echo $data
when run see output as
10
i not understand regular expression written in second line of script. mean?
the expression returns non-zero value if there /
within relative filename of script ($0 in sh
). if execute script this: sh ../../script.sh
, outputs 15, total length of "../../script.sh". matches "../../" '.*\/
, matches script.sh
.*
part.
